Nostalgia often encapsulates the emotions tied to a specific moment. My goal with each couple is to capture their legacy so intimately that you can sense the connection in every photograph. I want you to recall not only how it looked but, most importantly, how it felt.
I hold a deep appreciation for organic and authentic moments, always ensuring not to intrude. As funny as it sounds, I see myself as a fly on the wall! My goal is to document not just your significant milestones but also the smaller, more subtle ones. Through the art of digital, film, and super 8, I've crafted a poetic form of expression for couples to narrate their love story—
because you deserve to relive your best days every day.

"Choosing Erin for our wedding photography was the best decision we made, it's been 8 months since our wedding and I still receive compliments on our gallery all the time. I was instantly drawn to Erin's creative and nostalgic vibe, and I am SO glad I put my full trust in her ideas. Erin not only has an incredible talent for capturing moments, but she did it in such a dreamy and timeless way while making sure we were having FUN! Both my partner and I were nervous about being stiff and awkward in front of the camera, but she took so much time to get to know us. It felt like hanging with a friend from start to finish, she captured everything so magically, we will cherish these memories forever."
"She captured everything so magically."
"Working with Erin was an absolute delight from start to finish. Beyond being incredibly sweet, her photographic skills are nothing short of spectacular. Erin beautifully captured every moment of our wedding day – from the getting ready photos, ceremony details, guests, to my husband and I's romantics. Her professionalism, punctuality, and ability to align with our wedding vision were outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Erin; our day lives on in vivid memory through her exceptional photos. She is not just a photographer but a true artist, we felt so confident in our decision to have Erin document our once in a lifetime moment."
"Choosing Erin as our photographer was an absolute game-changer in our wedding planning journey. From the moment I discovered her on Instagram, I was captivated by her work, and just had to secure her for our special day. Erin turned out to be the BEST decision we made for our wedding. Her kindness and support throughout the entire process were beyond our expectations, we felt so taken care of the entire day. She truly focused on capturing our authentic selves, delivering the documentary-style photos we had dreamt of. Erin's professionalism and warmth left us impressed, and to top it off, we were amazed by the speed at which she delivered our gallery and Super 8 video – just three weeks after our wedding. Erin elevated our entire wedding experience, and we couldn't be more grateful for her talent and dedication. I can't recommend her enough."
From inquiry to booking, I take all of our conversations to heart and want to make booking a wedding photographer as easy as possible for you! The best way to reach me, is through my contact form. Submitting a contact form provides me with all the information about your inquiry, such as date, time, names, story, and so much more! After you submit your contact form, you should hear back from me within a couple of days. I will respond with answers to questions and ask about availability for a client call! I LOVE getting to know more about my amazing clients, it helps me capture the authenticity of your story and get to know you before we shoot. During our client call we will discuss your story, all the details, as well as answer any questions you might have. You will walk away with a sense of who I am, a day of timeline, as well as a quote. From there you will have 3 days to book, and pay your retainer to secure your date/session. Your retainer is 50% of your total cost, and your date is not secured until your retainer is paid. In order to be fair, if not paid after 3 days, the date is released back on to my calendar. All wedding dates must be paid in full a week prior to your date, and sessions 24 hours prior. Retainers are non-refundable.
what do the next steps look like?
Answer 01: My contract always states 6 weeks for gallery turn arounds. However turn around times vary based on season, session, and package. I average 3-6 weeks and love being able to deliver early when possible!
It's important to me that your gallery reflects not only how things looked, but how they felt. All editing is done by me, and I work to get everything done within 6 weeks to maintain the feeling of the night.
Answer 02: In order to save your date, the retainer must be paid upon booking, but I offer financing for all of my packages, and a discount for those who choose to pay in full.
Answer 03: Additional cost for out of state/country weddings varies but I work really hard to maintain an affordable rate for my destination couples! If you are planning on having your wedding outside of California, please don't hesitate to reach out for more details!
Answer 04: Yes! I offer 10% off for my couples that are eligible for military, veterans, or first response. The discount must be from the couple. I also offer a 5% discount for couples who choose to pay in full, this can be stacked with that military, veterans, and first response discount.
Answer 05: Yes, I am insured through Gieco!
